Kaiyodo Dinotales figures, collecting and reference

[sauroid]

i have the Dino Expo Guanlong, Spinosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Gigantoraptor and Mamenchisaurus and they all come with a pair of clear rods and the bases have slots for them when they dont really need them at all.

I sorta forgot about this thread.

Two pending Kaiyodo CQ prehistoric sets--one dull/redundant, one interesting/redundant (Dunno why these weren't released like this originally.)--due in July and August respectively, I think...

I came across this video reviewing the Kaiyodo Dino Expo guanlong and wonder 2 things...

Why does it come with clear posts and slots for them in the base when it appears to be self-supporting?  And...

Is there a reference here or anywhere indicating which Expo resins are Kaiyodo v not?  I hadn't realized this one was.

Thanks.
Brett

The Dinosaur Expo 2009 series was not made by Kaiyodo. It was made by Capcom.
What we see in Ikesauro's video is a 2010 re-release (the Expo was touring).

I will be watching both, especially the second one.
Big chance I will contact u around that time

Well, I have an interest in those so-called  redundant sets.

This set is new to me, anyone know more about it? Ichthyostega is a new one for Kaiyodo I think.

[Fluffysaurus]

The ichtyostega looks awesome!!

Yes, Kaiyodo recently released this set (the 'Great Leap Forward' set) in conjunction with a museum exhibition. All the sculpts excluding the Dunkleosteus appear to be new.

Where to get it?

Where to get it indeed... Is this gonna be another one of those rare museum exclusive sets?

[DinoLord]

I know Brett arranged to get this set for a good amount of his buyers a couple of weeks ago, but it might be too late. Best to pm/email him to check.

The Dinosaur Expo 2009 series was originally made by Capcom. People tend to call them Kaiyodos - I don't know why!
What you have here is a 2010 re-release (the Expo was touring), which is still an original, just the package was altered.
I have never seen any bootlegs of this series.

[Neven Florian]

Thanks for the reply

  The Cretaceous set has just been released.

[Invicta Hunter]

Is there any rare colour variant with this new set?

Interesting, I didn't know that there were two releases of the Capcom figures. Are the ones with Roman numerals the re-releases, then?

The Cretaceous set has just been released.

Clever move, going with the Deinonychus skeleton rather than a fleshed-out model. That way, they don't have to worry about feathers, as this is an obvious JW cash-in.  I will say I really like the Triceratops and the Pteranodon.

Not that I'm aware of.

....... I didn't know that there were two releases of the Capcom figures. Are the ones with Roman numerals the re-releases, then?

Exactly!

Edit: I just realized that there are even 3 different package cover designs.
